patches/packages/dnsmasq-2.45-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to dnsmasq-2.45.
  It was discovered that earlier versions of dnsmasq have DNS cache
  weaknesses that are similar to the ones recently discovered in BIND.
  This new release minimizes the risk of cache poisoning.

patches/packages/bind-9.3.5_P1-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to bind-9.3.5-P1.
  This upgrade addresses a security flaw known as the CERT VU#800113 DNS Cache
  Poisoning Issue.  This is the summary of the problem from the BIND site:
    "A weakness in the DNS protocol may enable the poisoning of caching
     recurive resolvers with spoofed data.  DNSSEC is the only full solution.
     New versions of BIND provide increased resilience to the attack."
  It is suggested that sites that run BIND upgrade to one of the new packages
  in order to reduce their exposure to DNS cache poisoning attacks.

patches/packages/libpng-1.2.27-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to libpng-1.2.27.
  This fixes various bugs, the most important of which have to do with the
  handling of unknown chunks containing zero-length data.  Processing a PNG
  image that contains these could cause the application using libpng to crash
  (possibly resulting in a denial of service), could potentially expose the
  contents of uninitialized memory, or could cause the execution of arbitrary
  code as the user running libpng (though it would probably be quite difficult
  to cause the execution of attacker-chosen code).  We recommend upgrading the
  package as soon as possible.

  Recompiled, with --without-speex (we didn't ship the speex library in
  Slackware anyway, but for reference this issue would be CVE-2008-1686),
  and with --disable-nosefart (the recently reported as insecurely
  demuxed NSF format).  As before in -2, this package fixes the two
  regressions mentioned in the release notes for xine-lib-1.1.12:

patches/packages/m4-1.4.11-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:  Upgraded to m4-1.4.11.
  In addition to bugfixes and enhancements, this version of m4 also fixes two
  issues with possible security implications.  A minor security fix with the
  use of "maketemp" and "mkstemp" -- these are now quoted to prevent the
  (rather unlikely) possibility that an unquoted string could match an
  existing macro causing operations to be done on the wrong file.  Also,
  a problem with the '-F' option (introduced with version 1.4) could cause a
  core dump or possibly (with certain file names) the execution of arbitrary
  code.  For more information on these issues, see:

  Earlier versions of xine-lib suffer from an integer overflow which may lead
  to a buffer overflow that could potentially be used to gain unauthorized
  access to the machine if a malicious media file is played back.  File types
  affected this time include .flv, .mov, .rm, .mve, .mkv, and .cak.

  "Security bugs resolved in this release:  Prevent ssh(1) from using a
  trusted X11 cookie if creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and
  fixed by Jan Pechanec."
  While it's fair to say that we here at Slackware don't see how this could
  be leveraged to compromise a system, a) the OpenSSH people (who presumably
  understand the code better) characterize this as a security bug, b) it has
  been assigned a CVE entry, and c) OpenSSH is one of the most commonly used
  network daemons.  Better safe than sorry.

patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.0a-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to proftpd-1.3.0a plus an additional security patch.  Several
  security issues were found in proftpd that could lead to the execution of
  arbitrary code by a remote attacker, including one in mod_tls that does
  not require the attacker to be authenticated first.

patches/packages/bind-9.2.6_P2-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to bind-9.2.6-P2.  This fixes some security issues related to
  previous fixes in OpenSSL.  The minimum OpenSSL version was raised to
  OpenSSL 0.9.7l and OpenSSL 0.9.8d to avoid exposure to known security flaws
  in older versions (these patches were already issued for Slackware).  If you
  have not upgraded yet, get those as well to prevent a potentially exploitable
  security problem in named.  In addition, the default RSA exponent was changed
  from 3 to 65537.  RSA keys using exponent 3 (which was previously BIND's
  default) will need to be regenerated to protect against the forging
  of RRSIGs.

patches/packages/screen-4.0.3-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:  Upgraded to screen-4.0.3.
  This addresses an issue with the way screen handles UTF-8 character encoding
  that could allow screen to be crashed (or possibly code to be executed in the
  context of the screen user) if a specially crafted sequence of pseudo-UTF-8
  characters are displayed withing a screen session.

patches/packages/qt-3.3.3-i486-2_slack10.0.tgz:  Patched.
  This fixes an issue with Qt's handling of pixmap images that causes Qt linked
  applications to crash if a specially crafted malicious image is loaded.
  Inspection of the code in question makes it seem unlikely that this could
  lead to more serious implications (such as arbitrary code execution), but it
  is recommended that users upgrade to the new Qt package.

  Upgraded to shared libraries from openssl-0.9.7l.
  See openssl package update below.
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssh-4.4p1-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to openssh-4.4p1.
  This fixes a few security related issues.  From the release notes found at
  http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.4:
    * Fix a pre-authentication denial of service found by Tavis Ormandy,
      that would cause sshd(8) to spin until the login grace time
      expired.
    * Fix an unsafe signal hander reported by Mark Dowd. The signal
      handler was vulnerable to a race condition that could be exploited
      to perform a pre-authentication denial of service. On portable
      OpenSSH, this vulnerability could theoretically lead to
      pre-authentication remote code execution if GSSAPI authentication
      is enabled, but the likelihood of successful exploitation appears
      remote.
    * On portable OpenSSH, fix a GSSAPI authentication abort that could
      be used to determine the validity of usernames on some platforms.

    After this upgrade, make sure the permissions on /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd are set
  the way you want them.  Future upgrades will respect the existing permissions
  settings.  Thanks to Manuel Reimer for pointing out that upgrading openssh
  would enable a previously disabled sshd daemon.
    Do better checking of passwd, shadow, and group to avoid adding
    redundant entries to these files.  Thanks to Menno Duursma.
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/openssl-0.9.7l-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to openssl-0.9.7l.
  This fixes a few security related issues:
      During the parsing of certain invalid ASN.1 structures an error
    condition is mishandled.  This can result in an infinite loop which
    consumes system memory (CVE-2006-2937).  (This issue did not affect
    OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.7)
    Thanks to Dr S. N. Henson of Open Network Security and NISCC.
      Certain types of public key can take disproportionate amounts of
    time to process. This could be used by an attacker in a denial of
    service attack (CVE-2006-2940).
    Thanks to Dr S. N. Henson of Open Network Security and NISCC.
      A buffer overflow was discovered in the SSL_get_shared_ciphers()
    utility function.  An attacker could send a list of ciphers to an
    application that uses this function and overrun a buffer.
    (CVE-2006-3738)
    Thanks to Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team.
      A flaw in the SSLv2 client code was discovered. When a client
    application used OpenSSL to create an SSLv2 connection to a malicious
    server, that server could cause the client to crash (CVE-2006-4343).
    Thanks to Tavis Ormandy and Will Drewry of the Google Security Team.

patches/packages/gzip-1.3.5-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to gzip-1.3.5, and fixed a variety of bugs.
  Some of the bugs have possible security implications if gzip or its tools are
  fed a carefully constructed malicious archive.  Most of these issues were
  recently discovered by Tavis Ormandy and the Google Security Team.  Thanks
  to them, and also to the ALT and Owl developers for cleaning up the patch.

  From the gnupg-1.4.5 NEWS file:
    * Fixed 2 more possible memory allocation attacks.  They are
    similar to the problem we fixed with 1.4.4.  This bug can easily
    be be exploited for a DoS; remote code execution is not entirely
    impossible.

patches/packages/apache-1.3.37-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to apache-1.3.37.
  From the announcement on httpd.apache.org:
    This version of Apache is security fix release only.  An off-by-one flaw
    exists in the Rewrite module, mod_rewrite, as shipped with Apache 1.3
    since 1.3.28, 2.0 since 2.0.46, and 2.2 since 2.2.0.
  The Slackware Security Team feels that the vast majority of installations
  will not be configured in a vulnerable way but still suggests upgrading to
  the new apache and mod_ssl packages for maximum security.

  Thanks to Mikhail Kshevetskiy for pointing out the issue and offering
  a reference to the patch in Samba's source repository.
  Also, this version of Samba evidently created a new dependency on libdm.so
  (found in the xfsprogs package in non -current Slackware versions).  This

patches/packages/sendmail-8.13.7-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to sendmail-8.13.7.
  Fixes a potential denial of service problem caused by excessive recursion
  leading to stack exhaustion when attempting delivery of a malformed MIME
  message.  This crashes sendmail's queue processing daemon, which in turn
  can lead to two problems:  depending on the settings, these crashed
  processes may create coredumps which could fill a drive partition; and
  such a malformed message in the queue will cause queue processing to
  cease when the message is reached, causing messages that are later in
  the queue to not be processed.

patches/packages/mysql-4.0.27-i486-1_slack10.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to mysql-4.0.27.
  This fixes some minor security issues with possible information leakage.
  Note that the information leakage bugs require that the attacker have
  access to an account on the database.  Also note that by default,
  Slackware's rc.mysqld script does *not* allow access to the database
  through the outside network (it uses the --skip-networking option).
  If you've enabled network access to MySQL, it is a good idea to filter
  the port (3306) to prevent access from unauthorized machines.

  This new version of sendmail contains a fix for a security problem
  discovered by Mark Dowd of ISS X-Force.  From sendmail's advisory:
    Sendmail was notified by security researchers at ISS that, under some
    specific timing conditions, this vulnerability may permit a specifically
    crafted attack to take over the sendmail MTA process, allowing remote
    attackers to execute commands and run arbitrary programs on the system
    running the MTA, affecting email delivery, or tampering with other
    programs and data on this system.  Sendmail is not aware of any public
    exploit code for this vulnerability.  This connection-oriented
    vulnerability does not occur in the normal course of sending and
    receiving email.  It is only triggered when specific conditions are
    created through SMTP connection layer commands.

patches/packages/gnupg-1.4.2.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gnupg-1.4.2.2.
  There have been two security related issues reported recently with GnuPG.
  From the GnuPG 1.4.2.1 and 1.4.2.2 NEWS files:
    Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2.2 (2006-03-08)
    * Files containing several signed messages are not allowed any
      longer as there is no clean way to report the status of such
      files back to the caller.  To partly revert to the old behaviour
      the new option --allow-multisig-verification may be used.
   Noteworthy changes in version 1.4.2.1 (2006-02-14)
    * Security fix for a verification weakness in gpgv.  Some input
      could lead to gpgv exiting with 0 even if the detached signature
      file did not carry any signature.  This is not as fatal as it
      might seem because the suggestion as always been not to rely on
      th exit code but to parse the --status-fd messages.  However it
      is likely that gpgv is used in that simplified way and thus we
      do this release.  Same problem with "gpg --verify" but nobody
      should have used this for signature verification without
      checking the status codes anyway.  Thanks to the taviso from
      Gentoo for reporting this problem.

patches/packages/imapd-4.64-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to imapd-4.64.
  A buffer overflow was reported in the mail_valid_net_parse_work function.
  However, this function in the c-client library does not appear to be called
  from anywhere in imapd.  iDefense states that the issue is of LOW risk to
  sites that allow users shell access, and LOW-MODERATE risk to other servers.
  I believe it's possible that it is of NIL risk if the function is indeed
  dead code to imapd, but draw your own conclusions...

patches/packages/pcre-6.3-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to pcre-6.3.
  This fixes a buffer overflow that could be triggered by the processing of a
  specially crafted regular expression.  Theoretically this could be a security
  issue if regular expressions are accepted from untrusted users to be
  processed by a user with greater privileges, but this doesn't seem like a
  common scenario (or, for that matter, a good idea).  However, if you are
  using an application that links to the shared PCRE library and accepts
  outside input in such a manner, you will want to update to this new package.

  zip231.tar.gz.  These fix some buffer overruns if deep directory paths are
  packed into a Zip archive which could be a security vulnerability (for
  example, in a case of automated archiving or backups that use Zip).  However,
  it also appears that these now use certain assembly instructions that might
  not be available on older CPUs, so if you have an older machine you may wish
  to take this into account before deciding whether you should upgrade.

patches/packages/xine-lib-1.0.1-i686-1.tgz:  Upgraded to xine-lib-1.0.1.
  This fixes some bugs in the MMS and Real RTSP streaming client code.
  While the odds of this vulnerability being usable to a remote attacker are
  low (but see the xine advisory), if you stream media from sites using these
  protocols (and you think the sites might be "hostile" and will try to hack
  into your xine client), then you might want to upgrade to this new version
  of xine-lib.  Probably the other fixes and enchancements in xine-lib-1.0.1
  are a better rationale to do so, though.

  gaim-encryption-2.36 (compiled against mozilla-1.7.6).
patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.6-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.6.
  Fixes some security issues.  Please see mozilla.org for a complete list.
  (* Security fix *)

patches/packages/apache-1.3.33-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to apache-1.3.33.
  This fixes one new security issue (the first issue, CAN-2004-0492, was fixed
  in apache-1.3.32).  The second bug fixed in 1.3.3 (CAN-2004-0940) allows a
  local user who can create SSI documents to become "nobody".  The amount of
  mischief they could cause as nobody seems low at first glance, but it might
  allow them to use kill or killall as nobody to try to create a DoS.
  Mention PHP's mhash dependency in httpd.conf (thanks to Jakub Jankowski).
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/libtiff-3.7.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to libtiff-3.7.0.
  This fixes several bugs that could lead to crashes, or could possibly allow
  arbitrary code to be executed.  For more details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0803

  mod_ssl-2.8.22_1.3.33.
+--------------------------+
Mon Oct 25 16:36:28 PDT 2004
patches/packages/apache-1.3.32-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to apache-1.3.32.
  This addresses a heap-based buffer overflow in mod_proxy by rejecting
  responses from a remote server with a negative Content-Length.  The
  flaw could crash the Apache child process, or possibly allow code to
  be executed as the Apache user (but only if mod_proxy is actually in
  use on the server).
  For more details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0492
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mod_ssl-2.8.21_1.3.32-i486-1.tgz:
  Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.21-1.3.32.
  Don't allow clients to bypass cipher requirements, possibly negotiating
  a connection that the server does not consider secure enough.
  For more details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0885
  (* Security fix *)

Fri Oct 22 16:26:38 PDT 2004
patches/packages/gaim-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gaim-1.0.2
  and gaim-encryption-2.32.  A buffer overflow in the MSN protocol
  handler for GAIM 0.79 to 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause
  a denial of service (application crash) and may allow the
  execution of arbitrary code.
  For more details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0891
  (* Security fix *)

Mon Oct 11 19:32:39 PDT 2004
patches/packages/rsync-2.6.3-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to rsync-2.6.3.
  From the rsync NEWS file:
      A bug in the sanitize_path routine (which affects a non-chrooted
      rsync daemon) could allow a user to craft a pathname that would get
      transformed into an absolute path for certain options (but not for
      file-transfer names).  If you're running an rsync daemon with chroot
      disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the user privs you run
      rsync under is anything above "nobody".
  Note that rsync, in daemon mode, sets the "use chroot" to true by
  default, and (in this default mode) is not vulnerable to this issue.
  I would strongly recommend against setting "use chroot" to false
  even if you've upgraded to this new package.
  (* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+
Mon Oct  4 11:54:19 PDT 2004
patches/packages/getmail-4.2.0-noarch-1.tgz:  Upgraded to
  getmaii-4.2.0.  Earlier versions contained a local security flaw
  when used in an insecure fashion (surprise, running something as
  root that writes to user-controlled files or directories could
  allow the old symlink attack to clobber system files!  :-)
  From the getmail CHANGELOG:
      This vulnerability is not exploitable if the administrator does
      not deliver mail to the maildirs/mbox files of untrusted local
      users, or if getmail is configured to use an external
      unprivileged MDA.  This vulnerability is not remotely exploitable.
  Most users would not use getmail in such as way as to be vulnerable
  to this flaw, but if your site does this package closes the hole.
  I'd also recommend not using getmail like this.  Either run it as the
  user that owns the target mailbox, or deliver through an external MDA.
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/zlib-1.2.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to zlib-1.2.2.
  This fixes a possible DoS in earlier versions of zlib-1.2.x.
  (* Security fix *)

Sun Sep 19 18:28:24 PDT 2004
patches/packages/cups-1.1.21-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to cups-1.1.21.

  server causing a denial of service.
  For more details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0558
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/gtk+2-2.4.10-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gtk+-2.4.10.
  This fixes security issues in the image loader routines that can
  crash applications.
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mozilla-1.7.3-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to mozilla-1.7.3.
  The Mozilla page says this fixes some "minor security holes".
  It also breaks Galeon and Epiphany, and new versions of these have
  still not appeared.  In light of this, I think it's time to remove
  these Gecko-based browsers.  The future is going to be Firefox and
  Thunderbird anyway, and I don't believe Galeon and Epiphany can be
  compiled against Firefox's libraries.
  (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/mozilla-plugins-1.7.3-noarch-1.tgz:  Changed plugin
  symlinks for Mozilla 1.7.3.
patches/packages/xine-lib-1rc6a-i686-1.tgz:  Upgraded to xine-lib-1-rc6a.
  This release fixes a few overflows that could have security implications.

patches/packages/glibc-2.3.2-i486-7.tgz:  Recompiled using 'strip -g' rather
  than 'strip --strip-unneeded' to avoid stripping symbols that are needed for
  debugging threads.  Thanks to those who reported this bug, especially
  Ricardo Nabinger Sanchez who sent in a sample thread program that made
  it easy to test for the problem (and confirm the fix worked).

patches/packages/gaim-0.82.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gaim-0.82.1 to fix a
  couple of bugs in the gaim-0.82 release.  Also, gaim-encryption-2.29 did
  not work with gaim-0.82 (or 0.82.1), so that has been upgraded to
  gaim-encryption-2.30.

patches/packages/qt-3.3.3-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to qt-3.3.3.

  (only the version number changed in the build script).

  slackpkg-1.2.2-noarch-2.
zipslack/*:  Rebuilt ZipSlack for the upcoming release.

Mon Jun 14 21:51:44 PDT 2004
a/bin-9.2.0-i486-2.tgz:  Moved "which" from /usr/bin to /bin.
a/hotplug-2004_01_05-noarch-2.tgz:  Blacklisted evbug.
  Added /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware directory.
  Quieted some of the error logging about modules that couldn't be loaded,
  though modprobe still produces a few of these even with -q.
a/kernel-ide-2.4.26-i486-4.tgz:  Patched local DoS (CAN-2004-0554).
  Without this patch to asm-i386/i387.h a local user can crash the kernel.
  (* Security fix *)
d/kernel-headers-2.4.26-i386-3.tgz:  Patched asm-i386/i387.h.
k/kernel-source-2.4.26-noarch-4.tgz:  Patched local DoS (CAN-2004-0554).
  (* Security fix *)

  (* Security fix *)
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-5.tgz:  Patched
  local DoS (CAN-2004-0554).

Mon Jun 14 00:39:32 PDT 2004
a/aaa_base-10.0.0-noarch-1.tgz:  Updated.
a/aaa_elflibs-9.2.0-i486-1.tgz:  Updated package of ELF libraries.
  Note that this package shouldn't be upgraded...  it's only meant for the
  initial installation.  Reinstalling it can overwrite newer libraries.
a/bin-9.2.0-i486-1.tgz:  Added /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus, useful for activating
  USB storage devices.  (thanks to Lincoln Stein)
  Made rpm2tgz more portable, more secure on machines without mcookie (all
  Slackware boxes should have this), and able to handle RPM files that use
  bzip2 compression without requiring rpm2cpio.  Thanks to q# for the patch.
  Also made rpm2tgz less verbose (except for errors).
a/cxxlibs-5.0.6-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to libstdc++.so.5.0.6 from gcc-3.3.4.
  No longer includes libstdc++.so.6 from gcc-3.4.0 -- this is pointless
  since it won't work without the libgcc_s.so.1 from that version of gcc, and
  we can't include that (the version in the gcc package would copy over it
  if we tried).  A possible solution would be for gcc to use unique library
  versions for libgcc_s.so instead of making them all .so.1.
a/kernel-ide-2.4.26-i486-3.tgz:  Recompiled with gcc-3.3.4.
a/kernel-modules-2.4.26-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled with gcc-3.3.4.

ap/vim-6.3.004-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to vim-6.3.004.
ap/most-4.9.5-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to most-4.9.5.
  (suggested by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi)

l/libtiff-3.6.1-i486-2.tgz:  Fixed perms on libtiff.so.3.6.1.
n/bitchx-1.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to BitchX 1.1 (ircii-pana-1.1-final).
n/inetd-1.79s-i486-6.tgz:  Start pidentd as root and allow it to drop privs
  so that it can write to /var/run/identd.pid.
n/iproute2-2.6.7_ss040608-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to iproute2-2.6.7-ss040608.
  Moved from /extra.  (now that it finally contains man pages...)
  Thanks to Tomasz Torcz for letting me know that OSDL is maintaining this now.
n/lftp-3.0.6-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to lftp-3.0.6.
n/pidentd-3.0.18-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to pidentd-3.0.18.
n/tcpip-0.17-i486-28.tgz:  Removed whois.
  Patched mii-tool for 2.6 kernels.
  Thanks to Gil Disatnik for the patch.
n/whois-4.6.16-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to whois-4.6.16, which was split out of
  the tcpip package for easier maintainance (suggested by Stuart Winter).
xap/gkrellm-2.2.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gkrellm-2.2.1.
  Added gkrellm-countdown-0.1.1 plugin.
xap/imagemagick-6.0.2_6-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to imagemagick-6.0.2-6.
xap/xvim-6.3.004-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to vim-6.3.004 for X/GTK+.

extra/linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21-i486-1.tgz:  Added
  linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21 (Prism 802.11 drivers).
kernels/*:  Recompiled with gcc-3.3.4.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/alsa-driver-1.0.5a-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled with
  gcc-3.3.4.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-headers-2.6.6-i386-2.tgz:  Fixed missing
  headers in /usr/include/asm-generic/.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-modules-2.6.6-i486-3.tgz:  Recompiled with
  gcc-3.3.4, made /etc/rc.d/rc.modules a symlink to rc.modules-2.6.6.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-source-2.6.6-noarch-2.tgz:  Retain a few
  compiled utilities in scripts/ since some external driver sources need them.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21_2.6.6-i486-1.tgz:
  Added linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1pre21 for Linux 2.6.6.

Thu Jun 10 21:04:13 PDT 2004
gnome/nautilus-2.6.2-i486-2.tgz:  Patched a bug when dragging icons with a
  zoom level other than 100%.  Thanks to Miguel Manuel Melendez Gomez for
  the patch.

d/cvs-1.11.17-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to cvs-1.11.17.  From the cvs NEWS file:
  * Thanks to Stefan Esser & Sebastian Krahmer, several potential security
    problems have been fixed.  The ones which were considered dangerous enough
    to catalogue were assigned issue numbers CAN-2004-0416, CAN-2004-0417, &
    CAN-2004-0418 by the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project.  Please
    see <http://www.cve.mitre.org> for more information.
  * A potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the server has been fixed.
    This addresses the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project's issue
    CAN-2004-0414.  Please see <http://www.cve.mitre.org> for more information.

testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/alsa-driver-1.0.5a-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to

Tue Jun  8 23:08:33 PDT 2004
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-47.tgz:  Fixed rc.S test for root filesystem
  read-write status (thanks to Vidar Madsen).
ap/cdrdao-1.1.9-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to cdrdao-1.1.9.
ap/vim-6.3.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to vim-6.3.0.

kernels/speakup.s/bzImage:  Updated speakup from CVS.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-headers-2.6.6-i386-1.tgz:  Added a
  Linux 2.6.6 kernel-headers package by popular request.  This should
  only be used if you need to compile a driver that needs it.  For
  general compiling the 2.4.26 kernel-headers package is a better
  match with glibc.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-source-2.6.6-noarch-1.tgz:
  Added a Linux 2.6.6 source package.

n/elm-2.5.7-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to elm2.5.7.
n/proftpd-1.2.9-i486-3.tgz:  Patched to fix broken ACL implementation.
  Without this patch the ACLs with CIDR entries will not work.
  See http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2267 for details.
  Because this bug is relatively low-risk and because it has only
  existed in Slackware in the unstable -current tree, this ChangeLog
  entry will be the only security advisory issued for this flaw.
  (* Security fix *)
xap/imagemagick-6.0.2_2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.0.2-2.
xap/xine-lib-1rc4a-i686-1.tgz:  Upgraded to xine-lib-1-rc4a.

Mon Jun  7 00:56:25 PDT 2004
a/bin-9.0.0-i486-4.tgz:  Patched splitvt to use devpts (thanks to
  Nate Rodriguez for the patch).  Removed bpe.  Added file magic for
  rzip archives (thanks to Erik Jan Tromp).
a/pkgtools-10.0.0-i486-1.tgz:  Removed soon-to-be-obsolete "head -1"
  syntax from pkgtool (thanks to Stuart Winter).
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-46.tgz:  In rc.S, improved ro filesystem check.
  (thanks to =?ISO-8859-2?Q?Grzegorz_B=B3ach?= :-)
  In rc.6, don't use soon-to-be-obsolete "head -1" syntax.
  (thanks to Stuart Winter)
a/tar-1.14-i486-4.tgz:  Fixed "lone zero block" errors when archives
  do not strictly adhere to POSIX specs.
ap/bpe-2.01.00-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to bpe-2.01.00 (previously included
  in the bin package).
ap/vorbis-tools-1.0.1-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled against libcurl.so.3.
gnome/eel-2.6.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to eel-2.6.2.
gnome/galeon-1.3.15-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to galeon-1.3.15.
gnome/gstreamer-0.8.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gstreamer-0.8.2.
gnome/nautilus-2.6.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to nautilus-2.6.2.
l/glib2-2.4.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to glib-2.4.2.
l/gtk+2-2.4.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gtk+-2.4.2.
n/curl-7.12.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to curl-7.12.0.  This uses a new
  major shared library version number (.so.3), so all libcurl linked
  programs will need to be recompiled.
n/inetd-1.79s-i486-5.tgz:  Recompiled, fixed tftpd example in inetd.conf.
n/nfs-utils-1.0.6-i486-2.tgz:  rc.nfsd:  when checking for NFS shares
  in /etc/exports, skip lines that are commented out.
n/tcpip-0.17-i486-27.tgz:  Merged in changes to rc.inet1 to add wireless
  support and per-interface start/stop/restart (thanks to Eric Hameleers).
  In rc.inet2, filter out lines starting with '#' when checking /etc/fstab
  for nfs and smbfs partitions (thanks to Stuart Winter).
  Added nameif (thanks to Tomas Szepe for pointing out its absence).
  Upgraded to whois_4.6.14.
  Removed pcnfsd and bwnfsd.
n/wireless-tools-26-i486-3.tgz:  Moved wireless tools into /sbin.
  Added /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless and /etc/rc.d/rc.wireless.conf for setting
  up non-PCMCIA wireless interfaces (thanks to Eric Hameleers).
xap/imagemagick-6.0.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to ImageMagick-6.0.2,
  which builds shared libraries _just fine_.  The problem I was having
  with this before was likely caused by Slackware using newer autoconf/
  automake/libtool versions than were used in the ImageMagick sources.
  ImageMagick-6.0.2 uses the latest versions of these, *and* has a lot
  of other improvements over the 5.5.x series.
  Thanks to ImageMagick's John Cristy for cluing me in.
xap/xine-ui-0.99.1-i686-2.tgz:  Recompiled against libcurl.so.3.
pasture/pcnfsd-93.02.16-i486-1.tgz:  Removed pcnfsd from the tcpip
  package, and recompiled it using a fixed diff from Mark Post.
+--------------------------+
Sat Jun  5 22:12:30 PDT 2004
n/yptools-2.8-i486-6.tgz:  Fixed missing ypserv tools in /usr/lib/yp.
  Thanks to Dominik L. Borkowski for the bug report.
x/x11-6.7.0-i486-4.tgz:  Patched X -configure to not comment out monitor
  frequencies.
x/x11-devel-6.7.0-i486-4.tgz:  Patched freetype.h to remove the forced
  error that breaks a great deal of existing code.
xap/imagemagick-5.5.7_17-i486-3.tgz:  Recompiled to link with freetype
  now that freetype.h works again.  The recompile also fixes some
  PerlMagick crashes (reported by bren).  Oh, and if you're wondering
  why I'm not using a newer ImageMagick it's because newer ones don't
  generate properly named shared libraries on Linux.  Anyone got a patch?
+--------------------------+
Sat Jun  5 00:21:39 PDT 2004
ap/mdadm-1.6.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to mdadm-1.6.0.
ap/rzip-2.0-i486-2.tgz:  Fixed slack-desc typo, stripped binary.
d/clisp-2.33.2-i486-1.tgz  Upgraded to clisp-2.33.2.
n/php-4.3.7-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to php-4.3.7.
  Thanks to DaMouse for the nifty trick to get INSTALL_ROOT working.
+--------------------------+
Wed Jun  2 11:29:58 PDT 2004
a/lilo-22.5.9-i486-2.tgz:  Patched liloconfig to label any detected FAT
  or NTFS partitions "Windows", not "DOS".  This is a better guess in 2004.
a/pkgtools-9.2.0-i486-2.tgz:  Removed sample XF86Config files and
  xfree86setup script.  Fixed root:bin owner on xorgsetup script.
ap/man-pages-1.64-noarch-1.tgz:  Upgraded to man-pages-1.64.
ap/rzip-2.0-i486-1.tgz:  Added rzip-2.0 (suggested by Daniel de Kok).
n/apache-1.3.31-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled with EAPI patch from new mod_ssl.
  If /usr/sbin/apachectl is a link to mod_ssl's apachectl, do not replace it.
n/mod_ssl-2.8.18_1.3.31-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.18-1.3.31.
  This fixes a buffer overflow that may allow remote attackers to execute
  arbitrary code via a client certificate with a long subject DN, if
  mod_ssl is configured to trust the issuing CA:
    *) Fix buffer overflow in "SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth" implementation
      if the Subject-DN in the client certificate exceeds 6KB in length.
  For more details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0488
  (* Security fix *)
  Other changes:  Make the sample keys .new so as not to overwrite existing
  server keys.  However, any existing mod_ssl package will have these listed
  as non-config files, and will still remove and replace these upon upgrade.
  You'll have to save your config files one more time... sorry).
n/php-4.3.6-i486-4.tgz:  Recompiled with c-client.a in /usr/local/lib/c-client/
  to fix a problem in previous php packages where linking against the library
  in a path under /tmp caused an ELF rpath to this location to be built into
  the PHP binaries.  A local attacker could (by placing shared libraries in
  this location) either crash PHP or cause arbitrary code to be executed as
  the PHP user (typically "nobody").  Thanks to Bryce Nichols for discovering
  this issue and bringing it to my attention.
  (* Security fix *)
  Added --enable-wddx option (suggested by Lorenzo Tomei).
  Linked with the system libexpat rather than the internal one.
  Added --enable-pcntl --enable-sigchild for the CLI version of PHP.
  (suggested by Tobias Poschwatta and Aron Rosenberg)
x/x11-6.7.0-i486-3.tgz:  Patched xorgconfig to contain a correct path to
  the XKB rules files, include the glx module, and add the TTF and
  cyrillic font directories to the default font path.
  Thanks to Darth Apocalypsis for reporting the problems.
xap/gaim-0.78-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gaim-0.78.
+--------------------------+
Mon May 31 17:49:49 PDT 2004
a/kernel-ide-2.4.26-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled without LDM partition support.
ap/mc-4.6.0-i486-4.tgz:  Fixed broken php syntax file.  Thanks to
  Firman Pribadi and Georgi Chorbadzhiyski for reporting the bug.
d/kernel-headers-2.4.26-i386-2.tgz:  These have been updated to reflect
  the changed LDM partition support config option.
k/kernel-source-2.4.26-noarch-2.tgz:  Removed experimental LDM support from
  .config since it doesn't seem useful to most people yet (searching online
  isn't turning up much use), and simply to get rid of all the "disk read
  failed" messages it was emitting.
n/lftp-3.0.5-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to lftp-3.0.5.
bootdisks/*:  Rebuilt from new kernels.
extra/slacktrack/slacktrack-1.20-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to slacktrack-1.20_1.
isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*:  Detect NTFS partitions properly
  (I think it's safe to say at this point that NTFS has beaten HPFS over
  ownership of the 07 partition id).  Set $HOME in /etc/profile where it
  will actually stick.
kernels/*:  Recompiled without LDM.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-3.tgz:  No LDM.
+--------------------------+
Sun May 30 14:29:48 PDT 2004
ap/joe-3.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to joe-3.1.  Now with Klingon support!  ;-)
isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*:  Move LUN scan down a little
  farther in rc.S where we've got a better grep.  This should fix
  installing from a USB or IEEE1394 device when the LUN != 0.
+--------------------------+
Sun May 30 01:06:39 PDT 2004
a/bin-9.0.0-i486-3.tgz:  Don't link fsck.reiserfs to /bin/true.
a/infozip-5.51-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded unzip to version 5.51.
a/kbd-1.12-i486-2.tgz:  Added support for euro character to nl.map.
  (thanks to Eric Hameleers for the patch)
a/lprng-3.8.27-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to LPRng-3.8.27.
a/pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-i486-3.tgz:  Fixed perms (chown -R root:bin /usr/bin).
a/pkgtools-9.2.0-i486-1.tgz:  Set umask in *pkg tools so there are no
  surprises.  Use $ROOT for $TMP in upgradepkg.  Fix path to preserved

  Removed unmaintained yps and ypmake.
x/:  Switched to X11R6.7.0 from X.Org.  Thanks to those who sent comments to
  x@slackware.com.  Seems the community has spoken, because the opinions were
  more than 4 to 1 in favor of using the X.Org release as the default version
  of X.  I think I've heard just about every side to this issue now, and it was
  only after careful consideration and testing that this decision was made.
  It's primarily (as is usual around here) a technical decision.  Nearly
  everyone else is going with X.Org and it seems to me that sticking with
  XFree86 it spite of this would be asking for compatibility trouble (indeed,
  we saw some issues between X.Org and XFree86 4.4.0 until a few things in
  XFree86 were patched).  I also noticed that the ATI Radeon binary drivers
  designed for XFree86 4.3.0 do not work with XFree86 4.4.0, but do work with
  the X.Org release.  Something I'm *not* in favor of is dragging around two
  nearly identical projects, so XFree86 4.4.0 has been moved to the
  /pub/slackware/unsupported/ directory on the FTP site.

  I'd like to take this moment to thank the XFree86 Project for all the truly
  amazing work they've done all these years, and to wish the project the best
  of luck.  Slackware owes the XFree86 Project a debt of gratitude and will
  always include the XFree86 acknowledgement, even if we are no longer
  shipping XFree86.
xap/sane-1.0.14-i486-2.tgz:  Installed hotplug scripts.
  (thanks to Helmut Schmid  :-)
isolinux/initrd.img, rootdisks/install.*:  Added support for installing from
  USB or IEEE1394 CD/DVD drives.  Fixed full installation size estimate
  (thanks to Karl Magnus and Erik Jan Tromp).  Set HOME=/root for install.
  Fixed install support for bareacpi.i.  (thanks to Miha Verlic)
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/alsa-driver-1.0.5-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to
  alsa-driver-1.0.5, compiled for a kernel using 8K stacks.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-2.tgz:  Removed
  4KSTACKS option and recompiled.  The rationale is that for now we need to be
  compatible with things like the nVidia binary driver that will be broken with
  4KSTACKS until they are fixed, so we should stick with 8K stacks for a while
  longer.  It appears that the de facto standard options for production kernels
  in other distributions will be 4KSTACKS and no preempt, and that's what
  Slackware should eventually use too if we want compatibility with binary
  modules that are compiled for those systems.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-modules-2.6.6-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled.
  Note that these modules are binary incompatible with the last set, so if
  you're using an initrd you'll have to rebuild it.  Make sure you load the
  loop module before installing this package, or you might find yourself
  unable to rebuild the initrd...

  Patched adjtimex for gcc-3.3.3.  (thanks to *dEiMoS*)
ap/mc-4.6.0-i486-3.tgz:  Fixed broken hotkeys (reported by c0ldbyte).
ap/mdadm-1.5.0-i486-1.tgz:  Added mdadm-1.5.0.

Wed May 26 20:26:45 PDT 2004
ap/vim-6.2.532-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to vim-6.2.532.
  Thanks to Alvaro Figueroa Cabezas for reminding me to update vim.
d/perl-5.8.4-i486-3.tgz:  Fixed -Dinc_version_list (thanks to Mark Post).

+--------------------------+
Tue May 25 21:20:48 PDT 2004
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-45.tgz:  The clock should be set before running
  rc.modules, otherwise it's hard to know if we need to run depmod on
  recently installed modules.
a/udev-025-i486-6.tgz:  Added /dev/fd[0-3].
n/lftp-3.0.4-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to lftp-3.0.4.
Here is some work in progress.  :-)  It might be good for it to stay out
  of the installer until after the next release, actually.  By then any
  drive geometry or other issues will be worked out...  It's working
  great here, though, and is now very well supported in the init scripts
  (and I've even run / on LVM).
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/alsa-driver-1.0.4-i486-2.tgz:  Added ALSA
  driver package compiled for Linux 2.6.6.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-generic-2.6.6-i486-1.tgz:  Added a
  generic Linux 2.6.6 kernel.  Generic means that it supports almost
  everything through modules, but a lot less than usual is built in.
  For example, the only built-in filesystem is ext2.  If you want something
  better for your root filesystem, or you need to load SCSI or other drivers
  before mounting root, then you'll need to build an initrd (see the new
  mkinitrd package).  You'll also need to add a line to your lilo.conf to
  load the initrd along with the kernel:
    initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/kernel-modules-2.6.6-i486-1.tgz:  Added kernel
  modules for Linux 2.6.6.
testing/packages/linux-2.6.6/mkinitrd-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz:  Added a mkinitrd
  package (this was added for 2.6.x but should work with any kernel).
+--------------------------+
Mon May 24 22:18:50 PDT 2004
a/glibc-solibs-2.3.2-i486-6.tgz:  Recompiled against 2.4.26 kernel headers.
a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.3.2-noarch-6.tgz:  Rebuilt.  Patched /usr/sbin/timeconfig
  to copy the timezone file to /etc/localtime instead of making that a link.
  This prevents problems caused by trying to set the clock when /usr is not
  yet mounted, as well as other problems caused by waiting until after /usr
  is mounted to set the clock.  Set a /etc/localtime-copied-from symlink to
  show where the file is coming from.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-44.tgz:  Detect LVM2 by looking for /etc/lvm/backup/.
  (one more reason not to turn off metadata backups :-), also on shutdown
  don't try to use --ignorelockingfailure with LVM1.
  Support swap on LVM (thanks to Lucas Santos).
  Test for nohotplug before starting udev (thanks to Piter Punk).
a/udev-025-i486-5.tgz:  unset math function, not unalias (thanks LukenShiro).
  Check for existing devices or links before trying to make them.
  Add a couple of vmnet devices (suggested by Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi).
ap/normalize-0.7.6-i486-1.tgz:  Added normalize-0.7.6.
l/glibc-2.3.2-i486-6.tgz:  Recompiled.

xap/gnuplot-4.0.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gnuplot-4.0.0.
  (thanks to Dominik L. Borkowski for the reminder)
xap/xv-3.10a-i486-3.tgz:  Updated the XV jumbo patches to fix things for
  registered users (who have to recompile xv themselves to register anyway :).
extra/brltty/brltty-3.4.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to brltty-3.4.1.
extra/emacspeak/emacspeak-20.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to emacspeak-20.0.

extra/isdn4k-utils/isdn4k-utils-CVS-2004-05-02.tar.bz2:  Updated.
pasture/db4-4.1.25-i386-1.tgz:  Moved from /extra.
testing/packages/lvm2/device-mapper-1.00.17-i486-2.tgz:  Provide a static
  version of dmsetup.
testing/packages/lvm2/lvm2-2.00.15-i486-2.tgz:  Provide a static version of lvm
  (perhaps useful with an initrd for placing / on a LV).  Build in support for
  lvm1 metadata (I wasn't able to migrate from lvm1 using vgconvert until this
  was built in, but possibly a setting in lvm.conf would also have worked).
+--------------------------+
Sat May 22 23:27:56 PDT 2004
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-43.tgz:  Fix adding proc and sysfs to /etc/mtab.
+--------------------------+
Sat May 22 22:46:49 PDT 2004
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-42.tgz:  Use /proc/mounts to detect a mounted sysfs.
  Move some things around in rc.S.
  Debugged LVM2 in rc.S and rc.6 (thanks to Luigi Genoni for the LVM help!)
a/udev-025-i486-4.tgz:  Create /dev/ppp so that the ppp modules can autoload.
  Fix perms on misc/* devices (thanks to Stefano Vesa and /ismail).
  Add nVidia devices.
  Add /dev/loop0.
  Don't use expr in make_extra_nodes.sh (thanks to LukenShiro).
  Symlink v4l devices in /dev (thanks to Michele Mariottini).
testing/packages/lvm2/device-mapper-1.00.17-i486-1.tgz:
  Added device-mapper-1.00.17.
testing/packages/lvm2/lvm2-2.00.15-i486-1.tgz:  Added LVM2.2.00.15.
+--------------------------+
Fri May 21 01:39:02 PDT 2004
a/devs-2.3.1-noarch-21.tgz:  Chgrp some devices to audio, video, or cdrom.
a/etc-5.1-noarch-8.tgz:  Add to /etc/group: audio(17), video(18), cdrom(19).
  Don't leave $file set after running scripts in /etc/profile.d/.
a/lilo-22.5.9-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to lilo-22.5.9.
  Patched liloconfig to only suggest using ide-scsi for 2.4.x kernels.
a/shadow-4.0.3-i486-10.tgz:  In /etc/login.defs, allow console users access
  to the audio, video, and cdrom groups.
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-41.tgz:  Various updates in /etc/rc.d/.
    In rc.S:
  Mount /proc before doing anything else.
  Remove SGIVWS hwclock cruft.
  Use /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize for random_seed (Daniel de Kok).
    In rc.M:
  Power down monitor after one hour (Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi).
  Increase supported dmesg buffer size to 64K (Lech Szychowski).
  Support an /etc/rc.d/rc.hpoj if found (Marc A. Mironescu).
    In rc.6:
  Remove SGIVWS hwclock cruft.
  Use /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize for random_seed (Daniel de Kok).
a/udev-025-i486-3.tgz:  Moved make_extra_nodes into a separate script.
  Fixed detection/perms on IDE cdrom devices.
  Use new cdrom/audio/video groups.
d/automake-1.8.5-noarch-1.tgz:  Upgraded to automake-1.8.5.
d/perl-5.8.4-i486-2.tgz:  Support modules compiled for older perl versions.
n/curl-7.11.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to curl-7.11.2.
xap/xpdf-3.00-i486-2.tgz:  Fixed Cyrillic support in xpdfrc.
  Thanks to Alexey Remizov for the bug report and patch.
xap/xv-3.10a-i486-2.tgz:  Applied Greg Roelofs' "jumbo" fix and enhancement
  patches (thanks, Greg!).
pasture/devfsd-1.3.25-i486-4.tgz:  On systems that support both devfs and
  udev, do not use devfs unless /etc/rc.d/rc.udev is non-executable.
+--------------------------+
Wed May 19 18:08:33 PDT 2004
a/shadow-4.0.3-i486-9.tgz:  Upgraded /usr/sbin/adduser.
  (Thanks to Stuart Winter for the update)
a/tar-1.14-i486-2.tgz:  Restore bzip2 support in tar-1.13.
ap/mysql-4.0.20-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to mysql-4.0.20.
ap/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i486-12.tgz:  Put docbook-utils-0.6.14 docs in the right
  directory (/usr/doc).  Fix directory perms in /usr/doc/gtk-doc-1.2/doc/.
d/cvs-1.11.16-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to cvs-1.11.16.  From the NEWS file:
    A potential buffer overflow vulnerability in the server has been fixed.
    Prior to this patch, a malicious client could potentially use carefully
    crafted server requests to run arbitrary programs on the CVS server
    machine.

  (* Security fix *)
gnome/eel-2.6.1-i486-2.tgz:  Fixed documentation perms (no, the GPL should
   not be executable).  Thanks to mRgOBLIN.
gnome/epiphany-1.2.5-i486-2.tgz:  Fix doc perms (thanks to mRgOBLIN).
gnome/epiphany-extensions-0.9.0-i486-2.tgz:  Fix doc perms (thanks to
  mRgOBLIN).
extra/slackpkg/slackpkg-1.2.1-noarch-6.tgz:  Upgraded to

+--------------------------+
Tue May 18 14:01:11 PDT 2004
a/sysvinit-2.84-i486-40.tgz:  In rc.S, fix syntax for mounting /proc (it
  really did work most of the time before  ;-).  I considered checking it
  again later when the /etc/mtab entries are created, but we'll see if this
  does the trick first.  Also, fix a typo where sysctl is checked for in
  /bin rather than /sbin (thanks to Tomasz Torcz for pointing that out).
a/udev-025-i486-2.tgz:  After refining and re-rerefining a rules file for
  Slackware, I completely forgot to install it!  Sorry about it -- it's there
  now.  Oh, and I know that udev overwrites existing config files.  If you
  think there are user serviceable parts in there, save backup copies.
  Fixed /dev/tty* perms.  Thanks to Markus Stauffer and the folks on
  alt.os.linux.slackware for the heads-up.
gnome/gnome-games-2.6.1-i486-3.tgz:  Fix /usr/bin directory ownership.
l/pcre-4.5-i486-2.tgz:  --enable-utf8 (thanks to Tomas Szepe).
l/libglade-2.4.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to libglade-2.4.0.
+--------------------------+
Mon May 17 19:33:11 PDT 2004
kde/kdelibs-3.2.2-i486-2.tgz: Patched URI security issues.
  According to www.kde.org:
    The telnet, rlogin, ssh and mailto URI handlers in KDE do not
    check for '-' at the beginning of the hostname passed, which
    makes it possible to pass an option to the programs started
    by the handlers.

  In rc.M, save the contents of 'dmesg' in /var/log/dmesg.
a/tar-1.14-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to tar-1.14.
a/udev-025-i486-1.tgz:  Added udev-0.25, and for now at least this will be used
  by default if a 2.6 kernel with hotplug and sysfs support is detected.
ap/mc-4.6.0-i486-2.tgz:  Patched to fix buffer overflow, format string, and
  temporary file creation vulnerabilities found by Andrew V. Samoilov and
  Pavel Roskin.  These could lead to a denial of service or the execution
  of arbitrary code as the user running mc.

gnome/gnome-games-2.6.1-i486-2.tgz:  Chamge the perms on /var/lib/games to
  0775, since the gnome-games don't like 2775 now (it causes the "Scores" menu
  choice to be greyed out).  Reported by Eugenia Loli-Queru.

n/apache-1.3.31-i486-1.tgz:  Note that apache-1.3.31 contains some security
  fixes.  According to http://httpd.apache.org, we have:

    In mod_digest, verify whether the nonce returned in the client
    response is one we issued ourselves.  This problem does not affect
    mod_auth_digest. (CAN-2003-0987)

    Escape arbitrary data before writing into the errorlog.  (CAN-2003-0020)

    Fix starvation issue on listening sockets where a short-lived connection
    on a rarely-accessed listening socket will cause a child to hold the
    accept mutex and block out new connections until another connection
    arrives on that rarely-accessed listening socket.  (CAN-2004-0174)

    Fix parsing of Allow/Deny rules using IP addresses without a netmask;
    issue is only known to affect big-endian 64-bit platforms (CAN-2003-0993)

a/sysklogd-1.4.1-i486-9.tgz:  Patched a bug which could allow a user
  to cause syslogd to write to unallocated memory and crash.
  Thanks to Steve Grubb for finding the bug, and Solar Designer for
  refining the patch.
  (* Security fix *)
ap/sgml-tools-1.0.9-i486-10.tgz:  Added gtk-doc-1.2.
d/distcc-2.14-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to distcc-2.14.
d/j2sdk-1_4_2_04-i586-3.tgz:  Fixed permissions that the Java installer
  didn't set properly.  (Thanks to mRgOBLIN) 
l/atk-1.6.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to atk-1.6.1.
l/audiofile-0.2.6-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to audiofile-0.2.6.
l/gdbm-1.8.3-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gdbm-1.8.3.  This changes the
  major number of the shared library, so we'll be recompiling things
  to use the new library (and you may need to, as well).

l/gtk+2-2.4.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gtk+-2.4.1.

n/rsync-2.6.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to rsync-2.6.2.
  Rsync before 2.6.1 does not properly sanitize paths when running a
  read/write daemon without using chroot, allowing remote attackers to
  write files outside of the module's path.
  For more details, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0426
  (* Security fix *)
n/samba-3.0.3-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to samba-3.0.3.
  Note that some other distributions are issuing security adviories that
  have to do with smbmount, and with an insecure use of /tmp is smbprint.
  Slackware is not vulnerable to either of these issues by default, since
  neither smbmnt nor smbmount are installed setuid root, and because
  smbprint is not installed in the $PATH as a standard utility (though it
  is present in the documentation area as an example file).  If you've
  installed smbprint on your own (or if you were crazy enough to make
  smbmount or smbmnt setuid root), you should be aware of these problems
  which are fixed in samba-3.0.3.  Apparently it's now "safe" to make
  smbmnt setuid root, but I still don't recommend it.
xap/gkrellm-2.2.0test1-i486-1.tgz:  Added gkrellm-2.2.0-test1.
xap/xine-lib-1rc4-i686-1.tgz:  Upgraded to xine-lib-1-rc4.
